Interactive Word Wall | EL Education - 12 views

  •  
    "A word wall in the classroom is a powerful instructional tool to strengthen content vocabulary or concepts. A word wall can be an organized collection of words (and sometimes phrases) displayed on a wall or other space in the classroom."

    My smart goal is "By the end of the numbers unit, 60% of students in the Special Education program in MS Spanish 1A - Period 2 will achieve 80% or higher on each formative assessment including listening, speaking and writing assessments." By creating an interactive word wall using my spare whiteboard, I can post key questions and sentence starters continuously as we learn them during the week to support students during speaking and listening practice. Students who need additional accommodations with graphic organizers can refer to the word wall during speaking practice to increase their understanding and ability to participate.

    My SMART learning goal of "by the end of quarter 1, 70% of students will score a 90% or higher on the EMATS/performance matters test." This will allow students to move the words around on the wall/ board into different concepts or topics. This will help them categorize the words and review what they learned based on the topic.

    My SMART Goal: By the end of the quarter, 80% of students will obtain a 60% or higher in Algebra 1. The rigor and relevance protocol directly connected to this video because the students did most of the thinking in this activity. I believe that this interactive word wall is a wonderful use of time in the classroom and allows students to share the connections they have made with the content. Most often, I find, that some students have made strong connections to prior knowledge while other students, struggle to see how a single concept can fit into the big picture. I love the idea of using a interactive word wall to help students build a deeper understanding of the content. I also believe that all members of my group could use this resource in the classroom. In particular, I believe that Eli could use this strategy with his AP students to help them understand and connect the readings which they complete at home to concepts they cover in class. I am looking forward to using this in my Tutorial class to help students in across all subjects. This upcoming week, I will work with at least 2 students to build a concept map using an "interactive word wall" that covers words in their math content class.

    Dimension: Impact on Learning Rate: 4 My SMART Target Learning Goal is that 80 % of my Pre-kindergarten class will master their reading foundation skills by the 3rd trimester. Using an interactive word wall is a great idea to have students see the cause and effect relationship. The students will be able to see connections. This will allow them to scaffold the words in order to bring the vocabulary words to life. Once they can bring the words to life their writing will improve. The students essentially build upon each other ideas. For my students they are still learning to read. Therefore, I could use an interactive words wall with the words and pictures. This would help my students learn the words. I believe that this video has a high impact on learning that is why I gave it a four. The students will be able to share what they have learned about the content. EDTC 615 Spring 2018 Week 5

    Dimension: Alighment to Standards Rate: 5 Group Members SMART Goal: By the end of the quarter, 80% of students will obtain a 60% or higher in Algebra 1. The word wall by design has to align with standereds. The whole idea behind using a word wall would be to enforce and teach students content specific vocabulary that created deeper understanding for students. My group memeber's students tend to struggle with remembering specific vocabulary, which leads to low standerdized test scores especially in work problems. A word wall is a good way to ensure students are comfortable with the content specific vocabulary.

    Dimension: Student Engagement Rate: 4 SMART Target Learning Goal: By the end of the third quarter, 80% of first grade students will score 16-20 points (80%-100%) on the next Unit Test which covers all reading skills. The interactive word wall is very engaging for students because it forces students to use words that they have learned in class and make connections between the vocabulary words through explaining their reasoning. This activity is very hands-on and is also a great visual because the students are seeing how vocabulary words can connect and relate with one another. Also, students are collaborating and building upon each other's ideas which can also be very engaging.
  •  
    Dimension: Rigor and Relevance Rate: 4 This word wall engages the students, and they are the ones doing the thinking and work to make connections between the concepts. The teacher does some work to prepare the words, but the students are the ones engaging with the material. This protocol could be used for our AP biology students to make and reinforce connections between the science vocab and topics being covered.
  •  
    Dimension: Impact on Learning Rate: 4 (High-impact) Smart Goal: By the middle of the fourth trimester, 80% of 3rd grade students will increase at least 40% on STAR reading and math. Implementing an interactive word wall in your classroom is a great way to keep students engaged in their learning. An interactive word wall can have a high-impact on students learning. Students can refer to the word wall when completing a lesson to help remember what the word means. When students continuously refer back to a word, they are more likely to remember the word when taking a state assessment. An interactive word wall is a great way to help students increase in their STAR data in reading and in math. I have an interactive word wall in my class for students to use or refer to when working on practice assessments or completing assignments. I believe my team would benefit from having an interactive word wall in their classroom. All students can use an interactive word to help remember words they may not use on a daily basis. EDTC 615

    EDTC615 FALL2018 GROUP1 Watching this video gave me a great idea for one of my group members Spencer who teaches ESOL students who struggle with verbal/conversational skills and written/language skills. Spencer's SMART Goal is 75% of the 24 students with a C or lower to have a B (80%) or higher in my class, by the end of the 1st quarter. This tool is great for student engagement and impact on learning. With this strategy students can build vocabulary skills by word connections and possible interactions with one another to help strengthen each others vocabulary skills often times with the teacher being the facilitator of instruction not the lead in the instruction.

    Watching this video gave me ideas on supporting my students. Word Walls are important supports for students in the classroom. They help students solidify their thinking process and content knowledge. Students in this video did the thinking required. This is also important as students tend to rely on teacher lead information. Our SMART goal is that 75% of students will increase their informational text reading comprehension by one grade level. The word wall in this video is a great strategy to make connections with my students.

The Real Versus the Possible: Closing the Gaps in Engagement and Learning | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

    (Week 9: Tolulope Oladipo and Michelle Bear) This is a journal article that is available in Diigo. The link to the article is also provided below: The Real Versus the Possible: Closing the Gaps in Engagement and Learning. Retrieved from https://www.educause.edu/research-and-publications/books/educating-net-generation/real-versus-possible-closing-gaps-engagement-and-learning. This article explores the generations of learners, how we can utilize technology in learning, the discovery of education community and learning science. The authors discussed further educational Goals about learning, improving student's success, engagement and learning through people to people interaction, people and tools, using information technology device as a vehicle by which concepts are presented (such as using simulations, and animations), using collaboration and rich media communication to promote interaction an engagement. The author discusses how access to technology determines generation of learners, such as the Net generation. According to the authors, many students in the K-12 and post-secondary education do not have adequate access to advanced instructional technologies or the web. Despite the engagement created by technology-enabled interactive instruction, many students, teachers, do not have the requisite experiences. The authors went further that internet resources are not yet fully integrated into the day-t0-day classroom routine. The authors cited a finding that proposed that motivation is a key factor to learning, and that engagement and learning can be achieved through competency and control, curriculum, instruction, the organization, management of the schools and the environmental conditions. Furthermore, according to the authors, the Board on Children, Youth and Families 2004 National report recommended that we can keep young people in school and making learning worthwhile by forming a good connection between learners and the context in which learning occurs.

How to Engage Underperforming Students | Edutopia - 2 views

  •  
    "Teachers must find creative ways to have the students answer the essential question at the end of the lesson. A student's ability to answer the essential question at this point is a way for the teacher to assess the student's learning. In most instances, this is the point when a teacher can determine whether she needs to go back and reteach or needs to accelerate student learning."

K-2 Skills Block: Interactive Writing | EL Education - 2 views

  •  
    Dimension: Student Engagement Rate: 4 My SMART Target Learning Goal is that 80 % of my Pre-kindergarten class will master their reading foundation skills by the 3rd trimester. This EL Education video introduces the concept of interactive writing. This concept allows students to use spelling patterns and high frequency words. The video demonstrated how all of the students participate in tapping out the letter sounds. The students were engaged in the video and used different techniques were utilized to display how various students were engaged in learning. They used different learning tools including: sky writing, full body movements, body writing, sharing the pens and white boards. This relates to my SMART goal because my students need to be able to master reading foundation skills. This is a key component to reading foundation skills. I practice some of these techniques already but I want to try all of them to see if that will improve my students reading foundation skills.
  •  
    Dimension: Rigor and Relevance Rate: 4 - students think and work My SMART goal is that students will be able to solve an on grade level math task, that will require them to respond and defend their work to explain their reasoning 3 out of 5 times by the end of the 1st marking period. This EL Education video shows a great model of how to use interactive writing with younger students. The reason I gave this a score of 4 is because although students are in a whole group setting they still were required to think and work. Students had to think and act out words or spellings. They worked as a class to write the sentence. It required students to think and help! While I think this is a great video, I don't really think it is something that could work for my SMART goal. Yes it relates to writing but I think that my students would need something a little more advanced for 4th graders. I think if students had this lesson taught to them at a younger age it would help them achieve this goal. I don't think this instructional tactic is something that would teach students how to defend and support their answer.

Interactive United States History Map - Sharon Lee - 2 views

  •  
    I like the ease of use of this software tool for a classroom setting. Since time is limited for a particular subject, this tool allows interaction, quizzing, gives helpful hints, provides short questions and answers that will hold students' attention, and at the same time provides geography statistics of the United States. Students can challenge themselves over and over for the quickness of the answers, and knowledge of the content. Technology can be overwhelming, so with limited time, I think software integration in a classroom should have ease of use.
  •  
    Hi Sharon, This website provides multiple aspects in 1 site, which is very good for students to use. I could see myself using this tool when discussing more about where students live and finding more information about Maryland. The only con was that personally it was hard for me t navigate and find certain features. For students, they would definitely need more user-friendly tools. This is definitely a website that will save a lot of time and energy, and provide reinforcement of topics learned in social studies!
  •  
    Hi Sharon, I took a look at the website and I agree that it is perfect for a classroom setting. Students can work together to complete the activities or the teacher can use the software to assist class lectures. The program is effective because it comes with a map and key visuals that would help students learn their geography. I took a quiz on the rivers/lakes/oceans and I didn't do very well, however I believe it was great practice, after a few attempts, I will be able to learn their names and locations. Great tool selection! Best, Denee Devenish

    This site allows you to customize your own map. You can even create a link so others can access the map you have created. You can add physical systems like water, land, and climate. You can also add populations, culture, political, economic, environment, and society information. You can also draw on the map and place markers. This would be very useful for 7th grade World History and Geography. It could actually have a place in any grade. I have not used it yet, but I plan to. I like everything about it so far.

    This article describes the incorporation of web conferencing in a foreign language classroom with the purpose of improving listening and speaking skills. Although the number of students in the study is small, the authors provide very specific recommendations for the implementation of this technology in the classroom. This technology allows students more time to practice and interact with their L2 since the conferencing can be done outside of the classroom.

Reducing the Achievement Gap with Technology - 0 views

  •  
    This blog post really focuses on ways interactive learning can reduce the achievement gap with technology. When learning is steered away from memorization from the "drill and kill" method, students are able to become more interactive in what they are learning, rather than just memorizing. That is what our county has been stressing with the new Curriculum 2.0 in learning really why behind each concept or equation, rather than memorizing.

    This Quizlet activity offers students a way to study for a test, test their knowledge, and improve their competency in the subject. This is a tool which has many different functions and purposes; teacher can use it as a homework assignment, a redo qualifier, or even a warm up activity. This integrates technology in the classroom in a way which is not a burden or done simply because it can be, if integrated it adds to the experience without detracting from the content or user experience.
  •  
    Quizlet is a useful tool for the classroom. There is a library of "little quizes" already available for use in the class in a range of subjects. These allow students to review vocabulary, definitions and test their knowledge. There are various methods of reviewing the material, one example being flashcards. A teacher can also create their own lesson/quiz using Quizlet. The program could effectively be used to review for a test or as an exit ticket done in the class or at home.
